You don't have to take classes or start shopping for expensive cookware. When it comes to transforming yourself into a master chef it’s best to start small. Begin by perfecting a handful of recipes. The bonus here is that you'll soon be eating better and tastier food yourself. Once you've mastered a few classics (like making the perfect steak and some side dishes), expand your repertoire as you see fit. Note that the classic single guy foods are Spaghetti Bolognese, stir fry, burritos, and the aforementioned steak. This is a pretty low bar to rise above. For instance, if you can successfully poach an egg, you’ll be considered a god among men.
